Thanks for this patch.

However I am not sure to understand some bits of it. Why do you add a
new POWER8 architecture type, if you are using the GENERIC one? It is
either one or the other. My impression is that
atlas.3.10.2-add_power8_cpu.patch is unneeded.

Also, I really dislike the kludge consisting in modifying the quilt
series file. Isn't it rather possible to use a standard patch (applied
on all arches) based on #ifdefs?

Note that it's now too late to upload this patch before the freeze
(because the freeze starts on November 5, and there is a 10-day
migration delay). However, we may obtain the permission of the Release
Team to upload this patch to jessie; simplifying this patch as much as
possible will increase the possibility of having this happening.

Thanks,
